Does anyone have any idea what this means? Its also saying "no space left on device" but fdisk clearly shows i have 120GB of space.
Im very confused, but gentoo still rocks. I run ones windows machine for all the familys games, and EVERYTHING else is gennnntooooo :)
Portage is so user friendly, and so professional. It completly makes sense, informs the user whats going on, and what their options are.
Im a hobbiest at best, majoring in computer science and biology, been a native windows power user (yes, they DO exist) almost all of my life.

Thanks for the help

Still looks like you ran out of space somewhere. Fdisk will only show you partition sizes.
What does df -k say ?
